Description
Tried to recreated an Oviraptor - Nemegtomaia, purely from bones, and comparing anatomical structure to modern equivalents. I usually draw dinos with other dinos as reference, but i can't trust that anymore. There are too many gaps in our knowledge about them, so i wanted not to reinforce other artistic licenses taken.
Artistic licenses i've taken are the colors and head/face ornaments. It might have had rooster like crests, condor like messed up face or who knows what other organic materials that we don't have info about.
Feathers are based on relatives that got preserved with plumage intact. Tail might have been way bigger and ornate. Recent evidence of feather structure show that plumage might have been a bit more primitive, and not as soft as current avian dinosaurs(birds).
I wanna thank damir-g-martin for his amazing tutorials on dinosaurs.
